After a few days of fever Joseph Stroud
Was visited by the poets Li Po and Du Fu
Guised as squirrels. According to Stroud's poem
Li Po read to him from the Tao Te Ching
(I'm not sure what Du Fu did; chased nuts, maybe)
There are squirrels around here constantly;
Sometimes one gives me a puzzled stare
Or asks if Phil Rizzuto is having a good season
But that's pretty much it.
